Hi All,

I'm trying to install DNN in a webfarm. I've a Load Balancer device, two web servers running windows 2003 and one running sql 2005. The application should only be accessed with https.

When a user request a page eg https://www.mydomain.com/default.aspx?tabid=36, the load balancer remove the ssl and redirect the request to one of the web server using http://webservername:8210/default.aspx?tabid=36.

I've only configure two portalalias in the table corresponding the the name and port of my two web servers :

webserver1:8210

webserver2:8210

I didn'd activate the ssl on the ddn side because my web servers are only receiving http request from the load balancer.

I've disable the friendlyurl function.

If i try to get an image eg https://www.mydomain.com/portal/0/logo.gif -> no problem

If i try a page eg https://www.mydomain.com/default.aspx?tabid=72 -> firefox give me 'redirect loop' and ie seems to never end the request

if i try https://www.mydomain.com/keepalive.aspx -> no problem

 

So apparently my problem is coming from the dnn inside redirection mechanism. Do you have any idea/ suggestion to solve this blocking issue ?

Thanks for your precious help

Well, I would STRONGLY recommend NOT doing anything funny with port numbers and items like you are.  DNN will most likely generate links and redirects that are NOT correct for the public viewers of the website.

I would look at passing the SSL through, all the way to the webservers, I've never actually seen a configuration like this before.

If you insist that you must use this setup, ensure that in DNN you have the UsePortNumber application setting set to true, as well as an alias for each of the servernames.
